30 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे षष्ठः सर्गः ॥१-६॥ तस्यां पुर्यामयोध्यायां वेदवित् सर्वसंग्रहः । दीर्घदर्शी महातेजाः पौरजानपदप्रियः ॥१-६-१॥
In the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Bālakāṇḍa, this is the sixth chapter. In that city, Ayodhyā, [he was] a knower of the Vedas, possessor of all [that is desirable], far-sighted, greatly radiant, and beloved of the townspeople and the rural people.
इक्ष्वाकूणामतिरथो यज्वा धर्मपरो वशी । महर्षिकल्पो राजर्षिस्त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुतः ॥१-६-२॥
Among the Ikshvakus, he was a supreme chariot-warrior, a sacrificer devoted to righteousness, and self-controlled; resembling a great sage, that royal sage was renowned throughout the three worlds.
बलवान् निहतामित्रो मित्रवान् विजितेन्द्रियः । धनैश्च संचयैश्चान्यैः शक्रवैश्रवणोपमः ॥१-६-३॥
He was powerful, had slain his enemies, possessed friends, and had conquered his senses. Through wealth and through other accumulations, he was comparable to Indra and Vaiśravaṇa.
यथा मनुर्महातेजा लोकस्य परिरक्षिता । तथा दशरथो राजा लोकस्य परिरक्षिता ॥१-६-४॥
Just as Manu, greatly radiant, was the protector of the world, so King Daśaratha was the protector of the world.
तेन सत्याभिसंधेन त्रिवर्गमनुतिष्ठता । पालिता सा पुरी श्रेष्ठा इन्द्रेणेवामरावती ॥१-६-५॥
By him, devoted to truth and practicing the three aims of life, that excellent city was protected, as Amaravati was by Indra.
